Boots and Vest (LSP)

My submission to the Lost Songs Project. This is a collab with brother Will who supplied lyrics and vocals (we got to sing together on this one).

I found this track in a suitcase I bought at a swap meet. The tape was in there along with assorted auto parts and and a rancid stuffed monkey. When I got home and spooled it up on my reel to reel I couldn't believe it - I'd found a lost track from__________by________.

Insane Nag
Certainly has the feel of NY & Crazy Horse, musically... but probably needs to come up a few keys to be authentic. Also needs more nasality vocally... perhaps a clothespin on each nostril? lol

and could also be
a lost track from the "American Fool" album by John Cougar Mellencamp... This one had a slower beat than most of the other tracks so it got lost in the haste of getting it ready... perhaps.

Well done.. great hook-line, cool guitars. And a very true american folk-rock feeling in this one. Your two voices go pretty well together.

I just...
...liked the song, Bud. You and your brother are a great team!!! My bent has always been in somewhat different direction, as you know, but when I hear a "comfortable" song like yours, I can't help but take notice. You have such a solid and skilled sound to your band, characteristics that tell the listener "these guys know what they're doing." I'm glad to have heard this number...oh...great lead about 3/4 in... nice.
Good luck in the competition.
Peace.

(P.S. if I were to submit a "lost song" it would probably sound like Mozart or something...Ha!)

Nice...
...pick up on the Wordsworth allusion. You're probably right that it wouldn't show up on a Neil album, but it was the line that lead to the rest of the lyrics. New band: Willie and the Romantics!

My initial
thoughts are Neil Young but as to which album - 'After The Goldrush' - perhaps I should keep my options open and go with Decade (only joking). Does have a bit of 'Southern Man' in there somewhere to my ears.

aarrggh it sounds soooo familar
and I cannot think who it is. The voice has a Neil Young sound, wow, you sound like Neil Young, thats cool, although the music, I don't know. Really good track Bud. Like it alot.Very well played.

Thanks
for the compliment to Budwill Industries and for joining in the Lost Song Project. Crazy how Bud and I waited decades before we started collaborating on songs. MJ made it happen and we're enjoying it.

nice!
and i am sure i know who this is!!!
this is the lost demo from metallica's first album, "kill 'em all...."
right? this is a frikkiin metal classic, bro. you have outdone yourself. i am gonna delete all my files and start over now........

Who knows
The opening riff made me think of Ziggy-era David Bowie, but once it gets going it sounds more American, so ... er ... I dunno. But it's very pleasant listening whatever it is. Lovely guitar work and delicious vocal combinations.
